Denmark vs North Macedonia – World Cup Qualifier Preview | Extratips

Welcome to Extratips! Big night coming up as Denmark hosts North Macedonia in the World Cup qualifying playoffs on March 26, 2026, at 19:45. The stakes couldn’t be higher, with one team pushing for a World Cup spot. Bookmakers see Denmark as heavy favorites, with odds for a home win at 1.30, while a draw sits at 4.75 and an away win at 8.00.

Currently, Denmark is higher in the table, fighting hard to secure their place at the finals. North Macedonia, ranked lower, hopes for an upset that would stun the football world. Their last five direct meetings have split results: Denmark won one, North Macedonia two, and there were two draws — showing it might not be all one-way traffic. Denmark’s recent home form is strong with three wins and two draws, while North Macedonia struggles away, losing four and drawing one.

Denmark’s strengths are home support, consistent defense, and ability to score first. But they can get frustrated when they don’t score early, have trouble breaking stubborn defenses, and sometimes lose focus late. North Macedonia’s grit and counter-attacks are key, but their defense is shaky and they score little away.

Watch for possible injuries in both squads, and note Denmark’s new high-pressing system. Will Denmark’s firepower decide it early, or will North Macedonia frustrate and shock them late? Another angle — recent North Macedonian resilience on the road, or can Denmark end their playoff nerves? The big storyline: Can the Danes finally cash in their favorites tag?

Expect a lively contest where Denmark may start fast, North Macedonia try to hold on, and the home crowd makes all the difference.
